Program Management

Projects are critical to your success & long-term viability in the marketplace, period. Extensive methodology is available to support every facet of project delivery; however, due to inefficiencies of its application, managing the project often overshadows delivering its intended result. Also, even a project that is delivered on time, within budget and within scope, might not be successful if it doesn’t bring business value. Stakeholders’ requirements have to be defined clearly at the start but also managed throughout the duration of the project. We understand all these challenges and are dedicated to helping you address them. Tulkita has practical, hands-on experience setting up and delivering the most challenging of programs and projects, for start-ups and large companies alike.
